We see it as our duty to keep our island clean and beautiful as it is. Key points of our environment policy are written down below:

4 R's mentality: reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink

Our daily policy is based on this mentality. We recycle where possible and try to reduce energy and water usage on daily base.

Green Week: Activity week

Playa Linda organizes a green week to evaluate, improve and make plans for our green policy. Different workshops and presentations are given to fresh up and keep focus on the environmental aspect of our resort.

Recycling contests

Employees are challenged to collect and recycle different materials. They earn eco-points which can be exchanged for vouchers. This contributes to a better environment and involvement.

Clean a mile

Here at Playa Linda we are dedicated to protect and preserve our climate and we are committed to raise awareness of our guest. By keeping the beaches, grounds and streets clean we contribute to maintain a healthy and pleasant environment to stay and work at.
